It is more than 20 years since that first of all, have scientists the gene found responsible for cystic fibrosis (CF), questions about the way in which the mutated gene the disease causes, still remain unanswered.Researchers at the University of Iowa a model of the pig created genetically the most common form of cystic fibrosis reproduced. Pigs with symptoms of the disease, including the stomach intestinal anomalies and pulmonary diseases that mimic CF in humans.

The picture shows the cells lining bronchial Airways not FC (see above) and CF pigs (see below). Hair-like Cilia protrude from the top of the cells. Non - CF, air fills the respiratory cell light. CF, bacteria, mucus, and inflammatory cells sit on the respiratory tract. In the cells of the respiratory tract club football to the address of a reddish color purple indicator increased mucus production. (Credit: Lynda Ostedgaard, University of Iowa)

By using a model of the newly created pig genetically, it is the most common form of cystic fibrosis, researchers from the University of Iowa have shown now, that it "misprocessed" pigs and not end up in the correct location of the mobile phone. This error causes that the symptoms of the disease, including the stomach intestinal anomalies and respiratory diseases in pigs, to imitate the FC in humans. The results are published in the issue of science, applied to the medical journal March 16.
